Depends on how big the glitter is and how big a nozzle you can get on the spray gun your gonna use. If the glitter is really big then it may block the nozzle or it will work and you will need about 15 coats of laquer on top to cover it over to get it smooth, you could test it and see....

dpends how big.on a few cars iv done with big flakes, iv sprayed the colour, then added the flakes some more paint and applied this. with big flakes you need to flat it off before you laquer it, or you will neva eva polish it as the surface will be very rough. if you add them to laquer, only add them to the first coat, and definately not in the top coat

ooo! where it feels rough you need some stuff called G3. its an abrasive paste and will take the roughness out, as long as it has been painted properly.....

Just take it back to the bodyshop and tell them to sort it out - they are obliged to do it free of charge...
